David A. Lane, a formerbroadcaster and board mem-ber of the Clermont CountyBoard of Elections, will be re-membered for his integrity.Lane died June 16 after a briefillness. He was 62.
“The image that pops intomy head when I think of Daveis he always had a smile on hisface,” said Raymond Lembke,chairman of the executivecommittee of the ClermontCounty Democratic Party.
Lane was Lembke’s prede-cessor in the position.
Lembke saidLane retired aschairman of theexecutive com-mittee lastyear. However,Lembke said ifLane had cho-sen to runagain, “(there
is) no question in my mindthat he would have been re-elected.”
“The county has lost some-one who cared deeply aboutthe political process.”
Lane served as chairmanof the executive committeefrom 2004 to 2014.
Lane was a broadcasterand journalist in the late 1970sand early 1980s.
In later years, he waspresident of Lane and Co.Communications Inc. and aregional manager for theAmerican Home Stay Net-work.
Lane began his associationwith the Clermont CountyBoard of Elections in 2006.
Lembke said Lane’s highprinciples were evident in hisassociation with the Board ofElections.
This was echoed by Boardof Elections Chairman RickCombs.
“(Lane) worked to insurethat elections in ClermontCounty were were conductedin the highest ethical man-ner,” he said in a releasedstatement. “His presence willbe missed.”
Lane was a resident of Mi-ami Township. He is survivedby his wife, Marilyn, one son,Richard Lane, two daughters,Lauren Lane and Mary BethLane Dunn and other family.
Visitation will be from 10a.m. to noon Tuesday, June 23,at St. Columban, 894 OaklandRoad. A Mass will follow atnoon.

A new beach house that wasinstrumental in bringing the2015 USRowing Club NationalChampionships to ClermontCounty is now open at East ForkState Park’s Harsha Lake.
The July 15-19 event 25 mileseast of Cincinnati, is one of thelargest summer regattas in theU.S., and it’s expected to drawthousands of athletes and spec-tators.
The beach house at HarshaLake, costing just under $1 mil-lion, was among $88.5 million inlast year’s capital budget tomodernize trails, campgroundsand recreational facilities in
Ohio parks, said James Zehrin-ger, cq director of the Ohio De-partment of Natural Resources.He joined dozens of other stateand local officials at a June 6ribbon cutting to celebrate thegrand opening of the new facil-ity.
As a backdrop to the event,dozens of would-be rowers triedout their skills on Lake Harshaas part of National Learn to RowDay.
The beach house, which hasshowers, restrooms and a con-cession area, replaces an out-dated facility built in 1978. EastFork State Park also has newdocks built specifically for row-ers, thanks to state watercraftfunds, and plans call for more
state-funded improvements bynext year.
“I’m out here every weekendall summer long,” Ohio StateRep. John Becker said at the
opening of the beach house.“For those of you who remem-ber what used to be here andwhat we have now, it’s a hugeimprovement.”
The East Fork State Park im-provements were the first onesdone with the state capitalfunds allocated to improve Ohioparks, Zehringer said. Hethanked local representativesin Ohio state government, in-cluding Ohio Sen. Joe Uecker(R-Miami Township), and StateReps. Doug Green, (R-MountOrab) and John Becker, (R-Union Township), for workingwith the governor to get themoney to fix up East Fork StatePark.
About a year ago, PaulSchmid, head coach for Cler-mont Crew, which will co-hostthe USRowing Club National
Championships with USRow-ing, then-Ohio Senate PresidentTom Niehaus, R-New Rich-mond, and members of the Cler-mont County Convention andVisitors Bureau, approachedstate officials about the need toimprove the facilities at EastFork State Park.
“Gov. (John) Kasich knowsthat in order to attract people,you need a good product,” Zehr-inger said. “A perfect exampleis the USRowing Champion-ships back here in July. This iswhat attracts people, having agood product. It’s almost like ifyou build it, they will come.”

BRIEFLY
Home-cooked authen-tic Italian hoagies andpasta are coming to St. Co-lumban Church festivalJune 26-28 in Loveland.
Greg and Gloria Ionnawill serve up home-cooked meatball hoagies,Italian sausage hoagiesand rigatoni pasta mealsat the church festival thisyear. The journey fromthe Ionna family table tothe St. Columban festivalstarted on a fourth-gradefootball practice field.Their daughter asked ifthey would cook an “Ital-ian dish” for one of theFriday night “parent’scook” meals after prac-tice.
“We decided on meat-ball hoagies,” Greg said.“Well the kids went nutsover it and the coachesloved it.”
A year later it was theirgrandson who said theplayers were asking.They did it again. Thistime Tim Burns, who hap-pens to be the festivalchairperson and father ofa cheerleader, was therefor the after-practice din-
ner. The following Sun-day, Ionnas were greetedby Burns as they arrivedat morning Mass.
“He comes up and asks‘Do you think you wouldmind doing food for thechurch festival?” Gregsaid. “I said ‘Who areyou?’ he said I’m involvedwith organization of thefestival.”
Next thing they knewthey did say yes. WhileGreg said he didn’t thinkmuch about it, his daugh-ter and others startedhearing something aboutan Ionna Italian thingcoming up at the festival.Even the pastor, the Rev.Larry Tensi, knew aboutit. Ionna knew then theywere committed; therewas no backing out. Theyare not in the restaurantbusiness, not in the cater-ing business, and, asidefrom cooking for the Fri-day night football dinner,the largest meals theyprepare are at the Ionnafamily table.
“We had Tim overabout two months ago justto learn more about it,”Greg said. “We cooked ev-erything we’re going tocook to let him taste itagain; to make sure it waswhat they wanted. Timloved it. He gave us all thedetails.”
They didn’t know howmuch to make. How manychicken dinners do theyserve? The “Festival
Chicken” has its own sto-ry and tradition at St. Co-lumban. How many ham-burgers? How many hotdogs? Burns gave them allthe statistics to help themget an idea of what they’llhave to make.
“We’re going to test it,”Ionna said. “We’ve neverdone an army. We’ve donea fourth-grade footballteam, and we’ve done abig family, but we were al-ways by a kitchen.”
The Ionna familykitchen is truly where thisall begins. Food and fam-ily at table is more thantradition for them, it isfamily. It is family thatstarted at the table of Samand Gladys Ionna. It isfamily that continues to-day at the table of Gregand Gloria Ionna. There’seven a family cookbook ti-tled “The Ionna FamilyTable” which honors thefamily of Sam and GladysIonna. The cover is a pho-to of their dining room ta-ble.
“It’s a treasure to all ofus,” Gloria said. “Thewhole book is filled withmemories that the grand-kids all wrote.”
Not just the childrenand grandchildren ofGreg and Gloria, butnieces, nephews, and hisbrothers are all coming tovolunteer at the Ionnafood booth. It is a familygathering. When they tal-ly them all up, the numberexceeds 30 family mem-bers.
“It’s all in honor ofmom and dad,” said Gloriareferring to Gladys andSam Ionna.

MILFORD — In the MilfordExempted Village School Dis-trict, college bound studentswho are considering a career ineducation can get real life expe-rience before deciding whetherto major in education.
Milford Schools is amongseveral area school districts us-ing Great Oaks’ Teaching Pro-fessions Academy that giveswould-be teachers an overviewof what to expect in their chosenfield. Students also get class-room experience.
“In their junior and senioryears, we cover a number oftopics relating to education,”said Jenn Norsworthy, a Teach-ing Professions Academy in-structor at Milford High School,a satellite of Great Oaks. “Thisprogram gives students a tastefor it before they go and spendthousands of dollars in collegeand decide education’s not forthem.”
During their senior year, stu-dents in the Teaching Profes-sions Academy program at Mil-ford write a senior portfolio. Ifthey receive a passing grade,they can earn free college cred-it at all public Ohio universitiesfor the Introduction to Educa-
tion class.Students also spend 120
hours in district classroomsworking with teachers and stu-dents and experiencing a class-room from a teacher’s view-point.
“Our district has embracedthe intern teachers, and thestaff treats them as profession-als,” Norsworthy said. “The stu-dents are helping kids to getcaught up. Sometimes, they’reeven teaching lessons in frontof the classroom.”
When Norsworthy took overthe Teaching Professions Acad-emy program in MilfordSchools three years ago, sevenseniors and 12 juniors were en-rolled. Today, the program has16 seniors and 16 juniors.
“The work that these stu-dents do is heart warming,”Norsworthy said. “They want tochange kids’ lives in a positiveway.”
Many of those in MilfordSchools’ Teaching ProfessionsAcademy also volunteer forWhiz Kids, a weekly afterschool tutoring program at Mul-berry Elementary School for atrisk pupils in first through thirdgrades.
The Whiz Kids site is a col-laboration of Milford Schools,which provides student tutors;
Eastside Christian Church,which provides adult tutors andsnacks, and City Gospel Missionof Cincinnati, which pays forthe program.
The curriculum is to in-crease pupils’ reading skills, aspoor reading comprehensioncan affect their academic per-formance later. All instructorsare trained before working withpupils.
In Milford, senior BrandiNorman prepares tutoring ma-terials for each of her fellowstudent and adult tutors, and an-alyzes how their reading abilityhas improved. Her experiencewith Milford’s TPA program,along with a push from hermother, convinced her to pur-sue an early childhood educa-tion degree at Bowling GreenState University.
Norman said the TPA pro-gram has given her hands-onexperience and pushed her out-side of her comfort zone.
“I know some teachers like toteach for the love of the subjector for the school system, but Ilike being there for the kids,”Norman said.

What is it aboutvintage recipesthat intriguesme so? I guessit’s about the
history, a time when recipesharing was done by passingwritten or typed recipes byhand, sometimes when folks
gathered togeth-er for a morningcoffee break atsomeone’s home.
I was giftedwith such a won-derful lot ofrecipes fromDonna Wright, aClermont Coun-ty reader whowanted me tohave her Mom’s
and Grandma’s recipes. In-cluded with vintage cookbookswas a wooden box with thehandwritten and typed recipes,often with notes on the recipesby the cook. When I lookedthrough the box, I was sur-prised at the number of cakes,both for breakfast, brunch anddessert. We like a simple cin-namon coffee cake, one thatcan be made with the littleones and mixed by hand.
The recipe I’m sharing to-day from that wooden box isjust such a recipe. It’s calledquick coffee cake but I gave itan additional name. This coffeecake is really easy to make andnot too sweet or gooey. Perfectwith an morning cup of tea!
Quick coffee cake akaNot a fancy coffee cake
How much is a heapingtablespoon? The butter shouldmound up on the spoon. Iadapted the recipe only slight-ly. I made this by hand with awhisk.
1 heaping tablespoon butter1/2 cup sugar
1 egg1/2 cup milk1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla1-1/2 cups all purpose flour2 teaspoons baking powder1/2 teaspoon saltPreheat oven to 325. Melt butter. Beat egg and
sugar together. Beat in butter.Add milk and vanilla and beathard. Add dry ingredients,which you have mixed togeth-er. (I just whisked them togeth-er). Blend but don’t over beat.Pour into greased and flouredpan. (I used spray).
Then mix together:3 tablespoons sugar1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamonThe recipe said to sprinkle
this on top which I did. Nexttime I’ll swirl it into the batterso that if I would choose toglaze it, the glaze won’t pull thetopping up.
Bake 30 minutes or so justuntil toothpick inserted incenter comes out clean. Don’tover bake or cake will be dry.
Glaze (opt)I just made a confectioners
sugar glaze with a cup of con-fectioners sugar and enoughwater to make a glaze. Startwith 3 tablespoons water.
Refrigerator or freezerpickles
No, I didn’t make a mistakein the title. These pickles do goin the freezer and yes, they areamazingly crisp after thawing.My sister, Sonia, loves hergarden and each year makesthese awesome pickles. ForJudy N., who wanted the recipeand also wanted to know if shecould add some fresh dill sinceher dill will be ready when herpickling cucumbers are. Theanswer is yes. I think it wouldgive the pickles another ele-ment of flavor and, after all,
dill is one of the ingredients inpickling spice.
4 cups thinly sliced cucum-bers, unpeeled
1 medium onion, sliced thin2 tablespoons saltUp to 1-1/2 cups sugar - I use
less but just go to taste1/2 cup vinegar1-1/2 teaspoons pickling
spice1 red bell pepper, diced (opt)1 clove garlic, smashed (opt)Arrange cucumbers and
onions in large bowl. Sprinklewith salt and mix. Pour enoughwater over to just cover them.Stir again. Soak at room tem-perature for 2 hours. Drain,but don’t rinse. Meanwhile,mix sugar, vinegar and pick-ling spice in small saucepan.Bring to a simmer and cookuntil sugar dissolves. Let coolwhile pickles are soaking.After pickles have beendrained, add bell pepper, thenpour pickling brine over them.
Mix. Put into containers. Letmarinate overnight in refriger-ator before eating. Keeps atleast three weeks in frig, or upto six months in freezer.

June 17 questionWhat is your favorite summer va-
cation story (something that youpersonally experienced)?
“One of my favorite summer va-cations was spent working to helppoor people back in the hollers ofAppalachia working very hard andsweating my behind off with agroup of youth and adults from ourchurch. It was dusty, dirty, hot,sticky, buggy, spidery, yucky andhard work but it was one of themore rewarding times of my lifeseeing a bunch of kids (including acouple of girly girls) never com-plain doing it, and more important-ly seeing the sheer gratitude fromthe home owners for what we haddone for them. It was life lifting.”
M.J.F.
“Many years ago my employerneeded me to assist a client in Flor-ida. As I could fly or drive, I droveand took my family. Needless tosay this provided a ‘free’ vacationfor us. As luck would have it I wasnot that busy working most daysand could also enjoy the stay. Vaca-tions are great, but free vacationsare even better. Go Figure!”

As we Loveland resi-dents are going about ourbusy day only a few of ushave time to researchwhat is going on in theUSA and what is going toimpact the future of youand your siblings.
I am retired now andhave time to do my civicduty. So here are someimportant facts: Yourschools are so busy test-ing students that there isno time to teach themanything, hence they arenot likely be smarter thantheir parents, and teach-ers are leaving their jobsby the hundreds becauseof Common Core.
The EPA wants controlof all your property evenif it has water puddles ordrainage running thru it,hence water on your prop-erty will subject you toUSA and U.N. rules andregulations and severefines anytime they feellike it, and your housemight no longer be yourhouse.
95 million work agecitizens are out of workwhile the government istelling you that the un-employment rate is 5.9percent.
There is now enoughscience to declare that theglobal warming claimsare a hoax as well as a
scam andthe peoplewho havethe realfacts arebeingcalled vi-ciousnames andthreatenedby the cli-matewarming
scammers and govern-ment officials who seekmore power.
Millions of immigrantsare being shipped to theUSA and bused by yourgovernment to your cityand your local electedleaders aren’t telling youthat and this will bustyour city budgets andpollute your local votingoutcomes forever.
The worst of all is thatyour children and futureleaders are being pro-grammed in schools toaccept global warming, todenounce the USA, todenounce any religion butMuslim, and to accept asthe new normal things weelders thought of as sins,and taught to ignore theConstitution as if it was anoutdated document, and tobecome communists, andin some cases beingtaught that all white peo-ple are bad and racists.
Young black kids arebeing forever damaged bytheir leaders who are tell-ing them that they arevictims, which casts adark cloud above them forall of their lives.
There you go. Take theabove and think about it,and see how it is affectingus all. You wonder why somany teachers are immor-al enough to be having sexwith your school kids, andwhy your child is cominghome crying.
Search for the truthand get ready to vote.Push to keep our votingprocedures from beingdiluted. A drive is on bythe Democrat Party andits companion newspaperand media owners to makethe illegals eligible tovote, which will spell theend to the two-party sys-tem.
Local Democrats andU.S. Congressional Re-publican Rinos are notfighting it, but 70 percentof us, when asked, areagainst that and ready tofight. Start writing yourcongressional reps. Pushback on socialist com-mentators and don’t letthem control the pressanymore.

Older adults are a vitalpart of our society.
Since 1963, communitiesacross the country haveshown their gratitude bycelebrating Older AmericansMonth each May. The themeof this year’s celebration is“Get into the Act,” to focuson how older adults are tak-ing charge of their health,getting engaged in their com-munities, and making a posi-tive impact in the lives ofothers.
Older Americans Monthoffers an opportunity to em-phasize how older adults canaccess the home and commu-nity-based services theyneed to live independently intheir communities. It is alsoan occasion to highlight howtheir loved ones can helpthem to remain safe andcomfortable in their homes.
All year long, WholeHome Modifications, a ser-vice of People Working Coop-eratively, provides the expe-rience and expertise to han-dle modifications projectsthat will help older Amer-icans continue living safelyin their homes. This May,we’re encouraging olderAmericans as well as theircaregivers, family andfriends to think about theycan do to keep seniors safe intheir homes.
A few common problemareas are stairways, floorsand rugs, and the bathroom.
As you assessyour home orthe home ofan older fam-ily member,considerchecking thatall handrailsare not bro-ken and aresecurely fash-ioned. It’s alsoimportant
that both sides of the stair-way have handrails.
If floors are hardwood,tile or laminate, removingthrow rugs from high-trafficareas and investing in non-slip hard sole shoes can becritical. In the bathroom,replacing towel racks andtoilet paper holders withgrabcessories adds stabilityand security, but won’t makethe bathroom feel like a med-ical facility.
When it comes to keepingseniors safe in their homesand chosen communities, aproactive approach is impor-tant. We encourage olderAmericans and their familiesto evaluate their individualneeds, and incorporate someor all of these tips in order tokeep their homes safe andsecure for many years tocome.

VOICES FROM THE WEB
Over the years familiesgrow and change but, un-fortunately, houses don’tadapt with them, and issuesmay arise that you didn’tforesee when first buying thehouse.
When this happens thenext logical question be-comes, should you remodelyour home, or move to a newhome that better fits yourneeds? At Whole Home Mod-ifications, this is somethingwe talk about with our clientsconstantly, and we have a fewtips and factors for you toconsider.
The first question youshould ask yourself is howlong do you plan to be in yourcurrent home? Depending onyour answer, the changes youmake to your home could belarge or small. If you don’tplan to be in your home long-term, you might not want tomake drastic changes. If, onthe other hand, you plan tostay for life, you should con-sider what life changes youmight experience in the fu-ture.
Another important consid-eration is, what makes youwant to stay in your home? Doyou have a great relationshipwith the neighbors? Is thekids’ school a block away? Isyour life centered aroundyour community? Those arethings that you can’t take withyou when buying a new house.If you can’t give up the loca-tion of your current home,remodeling is probably thebest option.
Perhaps the most impor-tant step in deciding to moveor modify is to evaluate cur-rent and future needs of your
family. Afamily withtoddlers hasdramaticallydifferentneeds from afamily withcollege stu-dents, or withlive-in grand-parents. AtWhole HomeModifications,
we often recommend addingan in-law suite on the firstfloor if you plan to stay inyour home long-term. It couldbe used as a study or recroom until you need it.
You should also think abouthow you’re using the spaceyou have. If you’re not actu-ally using your dining room,why not use it as a playroomwhile the kids are little, re-claim it for a few years, thenuse it to set up a home office?Maximizing your space is aneasy way to make your homework better for your family.
Last, but certainly notleast, consider the financials.
Chances are you’ll pay morefor a new home than you didfor your current home. Youalso have to add the out-of-pocket costs including mov-ing expenses, closing costs,broker commissions, and anyredecorating or renovationsyou’ll do in the next few years(no house is perfect!). Youshould also look at what youcan afford to do in a remodel.Compare the two numbersand see what makes the mostsense for your family.
Deciding to move or mod-ify your home is a big deci-sion, but ensuring your homecan grow and change with youis important for the care andcomfort of your family todayand for years to come. Weencourage you to evaluateyour family’s needs and findthe best solution for you andyour loved ones.

MILFORD — Denison didn’thave much in the way of a fea-tured running back last season.
Big Red quarterback Bran-don Sklenar, who has sincegraduated, lugged the pigskinfor 709 yards and the two otherprimary running backs com-bined for the same number. En-ter Milford graduate and work-horse running back Jack Young.
Earlier this month, he inkedhis commitment to play for theBig Red. Young joined 15 of hisclassmates who are also com-peting collegiately this fall.
“I am really happy he decid-ed to continue with his career,”Milford coach Shane Elkin said.“He was one of the later ones todecide, but I think he wasweighing all of his options andlooking for the best possible fit.Athletically, he’s proved him-self and he is going to fit inwherever they play him.”
The term “workhorse” is of-ten bandied about when a playertallies a lot of carries and keepscoming. Young has no doubtearned that moniker as onlyKings’ DeAndre Barnett hadmore carries this season in ECCplay.
But even a term that impliessuch great durability might bean understatement in Young’scase.
He played with a brokenback throughout his junior sea-son. It was originally thought tobe a soft tissue injury and thereal ailment wasn’t discovered
until Week 9.Against Walnut Hills that
year, quarterback Drew Ash-craft sustained a concussionand the Eagles had to directsnap it to Young every play.
“He’s just a tough kid,” Elkinsaid. “You don’t see kids playingwith injuries like that.”
Last year, Young was part ofan offensive attack that includ-ed Ashcraft and receiver BenGreenwell.
Young led the Eagles with774 rushing yards to go with 11touchdowns and was named tothe ECC all-conference secondteam.
Ashcraft threw for 1,100yards to go with 11 touchdowns,rushed for 601 more and addedthree more scores.
Greenwell was a top receiv-ing target hauling in 50 recep-tions for 624 yards and seventouchdowns.
“Young was more than ourfeatured back,” Elkin said. “Heracked up a boat-load of all-pur-pose yards. With the combina-tion of Ashcraft and Young inthe backfield and Greenwell onthe perimeter, opposing de-fenses couldn’t focus on justone.”
Young is not only going to bemissed under the hot Fridaynight lights, but also in the hall-ways around school.
“Almost every day afterschool he would work with ourdevelopmentally disabled stu-dents and they looked up tohim,” Elkin said. “He’s just atop-notch human being.”

WESTERN HILLS — This sum-mer, the Cincinnati Steam arecelebrating 10 years of amateursummer college baseball atMax McLeary Field on Fergu-son Avenue.
To celebrate, the Steam willdo as they’ve always done: lace‘em up and play.
This season, they’ll do thatunder first-time manager PatHyde, a former catcher atNorthern Kentucky Universityoriginally from Chicago. Hydewas a Steam assistant prior toearning the head gig.
Hyde’s a common commodi-ty for the Steam, who employmany aspiring for careers inbaseball.
“I want to put them in thebest position for them to be suc-cessful. I want these guys tocome in for the summer and bythe time they leave I want themto go back to their school betterthan when they left,” Hyde said.
The Steam compete in theGreat Lakes Summer Colle-giate League, one of the pre-mier summer baseball leaguesin the country (arguably secondonly to Cape Cod), a wooden batleague comprised of playerswith remaining college eligibil-ity. Roughly 17 locals play onthe Steam this year, as well asguys from Michigan, Indiana,Illinois, Kentucky and SouthCarolina.
After 11 games, the Steamare off to a 4-6-1 start. At theplate, the Steam have been ledby Jake Richmond (Universityof Cincinnati), who’s hitting.444, and Trey Ganns (NorthernKentucky), who’s hitting .351with eight RBI. Max Foley (Ev-ansville) has been hot with a.341 average, 14 hits and eightRBI.
On the mound, Hunter Dunn(Eastern Kentucky) has a 4.23
ERA and a team-high 17 inningswith 23 strikeouts. Nick Beard(Northern Kentucky) has a 3.60ERA and nine strikeouts in 10innings.
“We have a very talentedteam. We’re very young,” saidHyde. “Getting guys into theright spot in the right situation.You learn how to pick theirbrain … you want to see whattheir thought process is andtheir baseball instinct.”
According to Brady Laber,Steam director of baseball op-erations, the Steam has had 32players drafted by MajorLeague teams. Most notably,Adam Eaton with the ChicagoWhite Sox and Pittsburgh Pi-rates All-Star third basemanJosh Harrison.
“What I like doing is seeingguys come in day one whetherit’s summer ball or college, justseeing them develop into betterplayers and people,” Hyde said.
Coming up at Max McLearyField, the Steam host GrandLake Friday, June 26, on ALSnight and on Thursday, July 2,the Hamilton Joe’s come totown on fireworks night.

Howdy folks, Thegardening season is herebig time!
The Grants Green-house on state Route 131have vine ripened toma-toes and green ones.Tony told me they arepicking lots of tomatoesand folks are buyinggreen ones to fry. Friedgreen tomatoes are good!
The Grants planted100 tomato plants a fewmonths ago and they aresure producing. There isnothing like a ripe ‘materpulled off the vine. Mydaughter Debby will pullthe first ripe tomato herein my tomato patch. I setthem out April 1. By us-ing the walls of wateryou can set them out byApril. The walls of waterwill protect them when itgets to 20 degrees wehave seen this. Next yearget a three-pack of wallsof water and have thefirst ripe mater in yourneighborhood, it works.
In the raised bedwhere I raised potatoeslast year, I set tomatoesout. In cleaning theweeds out I saw a potatoplant coming up. It camefrom a potato I missedwhen I dug them last fall.My friend Harry that
died whenhe was 101years oldtold me heplantedsome of hispotatoes inNovemberand dugthem earlyin the year.They will
winter over in the coldground. If you don’t thinkthe potatoes will growleaving them in theground and it frozen. Justlook where you grewyour potatoes and see theones you missed.
Since I had my herniaoperation, I could not doany heavy work. Nowthat the doctors releasedme, I have cleaned seventractor tires and fiveraised beds. I have twomore to clean as well asthe asparagus beds. Oneis 75 feet long, the otheris 40 feet long. My familyand friends will haveasparagus to eat.
I started picking blackraspberries yesterday. Igot a pint. That is goodfor the first picking. Ilike the black raspber-ries, they are so good.Ruth Ann would make apie from these berries.
That gal could cook andbake real good. Theblackberry cake and lotsof other things she bakedor the green fried matersshe fixed were great.
I was talking to Mikeat the Afton bait shopthis morning. He said hisgrandma, bless her heart,just recently celebrated95 years. That is great.Mike spoils her and thatis good. He said he wentand bought her supper.She said you are aboutthe only one that calledme and said happy birth-day. Mike had a surprisefor her. About 40 peoplecame to help her cele-brate her special day.Happy Birthday Grand-ma from the Ole Fisher-man and family. Godbless you!
She likes a certainkind of cake so Mikewent to the Amish storein Adams County and gotthis cake. Now Grandmadidn’t seem like shewanted to share, butMike said we can go andget more, so she said OK.If you have your parentsor grandparents cherishthem. One day they willnot be with you. I havemy children and grand-children. Do as much as
you can with them andlove them.
Now on somethingthat is not as importantas Grandma is. The crap-pie fishing tournament,the last five are as fol-lows: June 28, July 26,Aug. 16, Aug. 30, and thelast one is Sept. 27. Thereis something new for thisyear. If you fish in four
of the last five fishingtournaments you can getin the final contest. Thechampion fish-off is Oct.3 and 4. This is for thecrappie tournamentsheld all summer. Mikesaid they are catchingcrappie that still haveeggs in them. Good fish-ing to all!
Start your week by
going to the house ofworship of your choiceand praising the goodLord.
God bless all ...Morelater
